I have reached the point where I need to work the right and left cable on the sleeve, and again, the chart isn't working. Row one is fine; row two is not. For the right cable, I knit into the front and back of the stitch right after the marker, which leaves me 8 stitches to work. However, the chart shows 9 stitches left to work.
Is anyone else to this point? How did you solve it?

Finally, some progress
Saturday, March 3, 2007
Progress so far...
I'm knitting mine in Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool, greenish. As I've been sick with flu this week, I got to stay home and work on it a bunch. I've completed three pattern repeats!

Now, you might think that the sweater is almost done! However, you should know that my gauge is off (finer than the pattern requests). I really wanted to make something with this yarn, though, and the pattern is easy enough to adjust for a slightly different gauge. Also, after you divide the body is a little boring, with lots of stockinette; I'm putting that part on hold, as the sleeves look more interesting. These are the biggest dpn's I've every used!

Waiting, waiting, waiting.............
I am still waiting on my Interweave, any day now I am sure! I need to knit this sweater from my stash and all of a sudden everything I own looks incredibly boring and I have nothing that is right, oh the misery of stash busting. I will post once my IK arrives and I have chosen the yarn. I have a couple of other projects to complete so the delay is a good thing, .....really. It is great to see everyone else's.

Intro
I am so excited to start this. I have told myself that I must finish my current sweater- Thorn and Thistle Cardigan from IK Spring '06- before I cast on. I have the yarn- Cottonease in Popsicle Blue and cannot wait to see everyone's sweater.
What do you think ...
For those of you that have started knitting this, what do you think? I do not like the way the cables are lying. Maybe it's the yarn I'm using, but it just seems lumpier than I'd like ... I guess I prefer a smoother look around the neckline.
